Agriculture and Food FSC™ Forest Management Certification

A Forest Stewardship Council™ (FSC) accredited Forest Management certification from SGS assures buyers that timber has come from a forest which has been evaluated and certified as being managed according to the correct social, economic and environmental standards. Forest management certification is an independent assessment that ensures your forest management practices are in compliance with the internationally recognized standards of the FSC.

Our FSC forest management certification services are carried out by SGS, an FSC-accredited certification body that inspects, audits and certifies organizations against the FSC Principles and Criteria for Forest Management. Your forest management will be assessed against the requirements of the FSC forest management standard.

The FSC also evaluates, accredits and monitors forest certification organizations, which are authorized to certify against its principles and criteria. The SGS program holds FSC accreditation.

From logs to lumber, to furniture or wood pulp to paper and printed products, it is becoming more important to know exactly where your materials have come from. Forestry product chain of custody (CoC) certification from SGS means anyone, anywhere in the world, can quickly determine the origins of your wood products and the processes through which they have been. It is the guarantee increasingly sought by both end consumers and your customers alike.

For larger estates we have a history of undertaking and successfully executing large-scale, complex international projects. With a presence in every single region around the globe, our people speak the language and understand the culture of the local market.
